Hi,

I'm not sure how much success you will have with uclibc - we stopped
caring about it some time ago, so I'm assuming it's broken.

Is there an option to use some older distro? e.g. glibc-2.12 + 2.6.32
That's equivalent of RHEL6.2. I wouldn't go older than that - I still
sometimes check with RHEL5, but that one is likely not worth the effort
given that EOL is in couple years.

Other than that, I'd choose something very recent, like latest Fedora.

I think so, it would certainly alert us about possible breakage sooner.
